The Goonies are having a horrible season.

San Jose Earthquakes find themselves in a poor state after gathering just one point in the last nine matches. They are bottom of the MLS Western Conference table and are losing faith in their performances. The defence has been all over places in these matches and the attackers failed to find the back of the net. Time is running out for Ian Russell’s team as the final series plays-offs seem to be going out of reach. 

Chicago Fire FC secured a dramatic win in their previous match as they got the better of Philadelphia in an exciting 4-3 win. They were on the verge of losing the match until their star striker stepped up to net the winner in the added minutes. There were exciting scenes in the stadium after Hugo Cuypers dispatched the winning goal. They now have an incredible chance to build on that as they take on a struggling team.
